CONCERNING DAKOTA

From columns of Dakota reading mat.
ter in the ST. Paul Pioneer Press Of Sat-
urday, we select the following which will
be little old to some Of our reg ular
readers--but our readers have friends In
the east that we want ts reach and con-
vert. Be sure and send your paper Were
it will do good
at should be remembered, in speaking
OF Dokota, that it is as near the great
cenCers Of the east as Kansas and Nobras-
ka. 1t has been often stated, but it is
well enough to repeat it here, that one
does not have TO endure the priyaticns
OF pioneer life TO live in Dakota; even
the remotest claims are comparatively
convenient to railroads, schools and
churches and the adjuncts to civilization.
There are colleges of good standing,
occupying costly structures in both the
Northern and Southern sections OF the
territory. The school system Of Dakota
is marvel for its completeness ana the
amount expended in education. There
are employed in the common schools over
FIVE thousand teachers, and eighty three
thousand pupils attend the public schools.
The number Of teachers here double
that OF New Hampshire and New Jersey,
and half as many as the state Of Massa-
chusetts. Thirteen states in the union
maintain fewer number public schools
thar Dakota. About two million dollars
annually are expended for educational
purposes.
In the way Of banks Dakota leads
twenty five states in the Union. She 252
banks uf deposit, including 50 national
banks, with a total banking capital OF
sc. .25o, 900.
The territory has l,a22 pos,offlces.
forty six OF which are presidential offices.
Churches OF all denominations flourish,
and occupy. for the most part. valuable
and handsome structures. The value OF
church property in Dakota will exceed
million dollars.

length Of line. Here another operator
iustifies the matter, that is takes out or puts
IN spaces TO make the words come at proper
distances from each other and the type exact

type Is being distributed. To understand
his il is necessary to go back To the upright
cylinder first mentioned. This is made in two
aIrts, one revolving above the other, and
each having ninety vertical grooves in which
the typo rests. Each groove in the lower
cylinder, which Is stationary, has ridges
within it which correspond To the projecting
tunblcrs in lock, thoss IN each groove being
iifferent from those in any other Each type

There Is an ingenious arrangement by
